His life threatened, his kingdom in turmoil, in Psalm Twenty-Seven, David sought God's presence. In his distress, he wanted to "dwell in the house of the Lord". In this place, he experienced a perfect getaway. We can too!

This segment explores Psalm 78, examining the storied history of Israel and the profound question posed in stanza 19 of the psalm, "Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?" This question, fueled by doubt and skepticism, challenges God's ability to provide for and protect His covenant people. Today’s message offers a compelling and timeless response to the question, a resounding "Yes!" Listen and discover how God alone can transform difficult deserts into delightful diners, proving His unwavering provision and care.

In the Gospel of Luke, Chapter Ten, verses 25-37, while teaching, Jesus was challenged by an expert in Jewish law. His primary motivation was to justify himself and indulge his own sense of self-righteousness. Jesus responds to this man’s errant theological speculation by sharing a story that was designed to move him and us from law to love, from saying to serving and from religion to relationship. What begins with a question in the text ends with a challenge to every child of God to be "like a good neighbor.”

Do you ever feel like you are backed up against a wall? In 2 Kings Chapter 20, verses 1-11, King Hezekiah did! He faced a problem that seemed as large and looming as the Great Barrier Reef in the Coral Sea which spans 133,000 square miles and can be seen from outer space. Yet, with fervent faith and powerful prayer, he was able to transcend the disabling weight of his own mortality. You and I can too if we have “barrier belief.”

In Psalm 55, stanza 22, after lamenting the disappointment that had resulted from the betrayal of a close friend, David expressed his unconditional faith in God who redeems. This sermon navigates the fertile ground between our problems and God’s promises. It resonates with the marvelous possibility and hope that whatever we are facing in life, whatever our struggles, we are not alone. God is ever-present to help us and hold us.

Setbacks happen—to all of us. But with God, they don’t have to be the end of the story. In this encouraging Resurrection message, Dr. T. D. Stubblefield looks at the life of Joseph to remind us that what feels like a setback can actually be a setup for something greater. Originally shared during the 2025 Black History Month Celebration at Refresh Community Church in University City, Missouri, this sermon will lift your spirit and strengthen your faith.

On Palm Sunday according to Luke Chapter 19, verses 36 – 40, Jesus entered Jerusalem riding on a donkey amidst the applause and acclaim of the crowds that had gathered. When His enemies criticized the crowd’s response, Jesus said, “If they hold their peace the stones will cry out!” This message explores what a stone would tell us about our Savior? What is the story in the stones?

In Part 6 and the final sermon of The Perfect Match series, Dr. T. D. Stubblefield concludes with a focus on the last of four fundamental dynamics of biblical marriage based on Genesis Chapter 2, verses 18 – 25. Intimacy provides the physical, spiritual and emotional depth in the marital union. It is derived from the Latin word intimatus, which means to “put or press into.” It is “a GPS coordinate to the most innermost and essential being of another person.” In this space, the essential you and the essential me can be found. Intimacy involves the awareness of the self, the acceptance of the self and the atonement of the Savior.
